Contains the geomorphic classification by stream COMID for ~70,000 stream segments in California (low-order streams excluded). Streams were classified as described in Lane, Belize A., Samuel Sandoval-Solis, Eric D. Stein, Sarah M. Yarnell, Gregory B. Pasternack, and Helen E. Dahlke. 2018. “Beyond Metrics? The Role of Hydrologic Baseline Archetypes in Environmental Water Management.” Environmental Management 62 (4): 678–93. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00267-018-1077-7.

CLASS

The stream classification ID

COMID

The NHD COMID of the stream segment

CLASS_CODE

The character stream classification ID - follows the form: SM = Snowmelt, HSR = High Volume Snowmelt and Rain, LSR = Low Volume Snowmelt and Rain, WS = Winter Storms, GW = Groundwater, PGR = Perennial Groundwater and Rain, FER = Flashy Ephemeral Rain, RGW = Rain and Seasonal Groundwater, HLP = High elevation, low precipitation
